Everything You Need to Know About the First Wave of EOS Airdrops

EOS has become a powerhouse in the crypto space. One of the most promising things about it is the airdrops. Unlike Ethereum, many EOS projects are choosing to collect zero funds up front. Instead, they simply drop their token to the EOS community, while dropping themselves tokens to fund their project. The EOS markets then decide the value of the token based on demand, The team then sells some of its tokens to raise money. Since it’s easy and practically free to start a project on EOS, new players are popping up every day.

We looked into each new airdrop and compiled some cliffs and instructions on how to claim them. This list was made with the most promising projects on top, weaker ones on the bottom.

Without further adieu, here are 13 of the first airdrops to arrive in EOS holders wallets once the EOS main net goes live next week.

Additional Info: Distribution: 900 million for airdrop, 500 million for the Chaince Foundation, 200 million for the Chaince Club, and 400 million for marketing.

Action Required: No additional action required.

Hacked Analysis: One of the most mature projects to be airdropped. The exchange is pretty much up and running already. The team looks pretty good, the whitepaper is well done. They are currently allowing everyone to register and sign up for their promotional program that rewards tokens to community participants.

Etheos

Hacked Analysis: No Telegram, which is weird. They also haven’t updated their EOS countdown clock for a couple months. Team looks good. They have a few strong partnerships. The founders of Etheos also founded Bitgate, a new payment gateway app with the following partnerships.

EOX

EOX is a decentralized e-commerce platform that allows all EOS based tokens to be spent. EOX’s goal is to facilitate a global commerce system that allows all goods and services to be transacted in cryptocurrency without relying on fiat money. On EOX, social media influencers on all the major sites can create their own e-commerce page filled with their custom products. When they make a sale they can program the smart contract to automatically pay-out to whoever. You can also protect your data while on the platform, only releasing it to businesses/advertisers who pay you in EOX.

Hacked Analysis: Though the 10 b illiontotal supply is a lot, this looks like one of the stronger projects in the bunch. There is a major need for a crypto that enables fee-less micro-transactions. The team looks really solid. Experience at JP Morgan, Qualcomm and Swift. Most of the team worked previously at Ruby on Rails, an open sourced web-application framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.

Horus Pay

A global payroll portal that allows companies to exchange private encrypted secured data with international payroll vendors using the blockchain.

Hacked Analysis: We did an in-depth analysis on this project a couple months ago, and gave it high scores.

HireVibes

A DAC dApp empowering job seekers and businesses to get hired, get paid, earn more and give back. Hirevibes takes a 2.5% fee for all facilitated hires. They will take 50% of this income and give it straight to HVT token holders daily.

Airdrop: 250 million HVT (75%) to be received within 90 days of EOS launch

Total Supply: 350 million

Action Required. none that we see

Hacked Analysis: This looks like it has potential but it’s very young. You can find plenty more info on the token dynamics right here.

Parachute

Parachute is a platform where an EOS token holder can receive their airdrop tokens. The user is able to view the app airdropping the token and decide whether to claim the tokens. Users will then share their details with the app company, or refuse them and claim the corresponding value in Parachute tokens for future purchases. Users can promote their app and distribute tokens to investors who have opted to support their project.

Hacked Analysis: This seems half-baked, almost scammy. They don’t even show the team.

Do you know if it’s going to be like EOS Dac and you need to hold 100 EOS in order to receive the automatic airdrops? In the case of EOSDac there was a fairly straightforward registration link to receive the airdrop, but anyone with 100 received it automatically. Also, any idea if Binance will honour these airdrops?

Next upside targets for the bulls should they firmly breakdown 1.2900 again, will be the psychological 1.3000 mark.

GBP/USD throughout the session on Monday remained very much elevated. This came as market participants were somewhat maintaining an optimistic view. All of which heading into the British Prime Minister Theresa May’s speech to the House of Commons, on her Brexit plan b. Of course, this had to be drafted again, given her humiliating defeat at the vote last week, on the initial EU withdrawal plan.

Theresa May Plan B

In terms of her details this time round, she will be going back to Brussels, to seek some amendments to her initial agreement. This needs to be done in order to get a plan through another vote in the commons. Looking at some of the GBP bullish takeaways from this statement; she guaranteed rights for EU citizens at several angles, scraping the application fee EU nationals registering in Britain, discussing the backstop with the DUP this week.

To conclude, PM May appears keen in her language to ensure of a soft-Brexit, rather than one that is hard. All of which supported GBP in its push to session highs, at the time, briefly moving back above 1.2900. The price had given up this area on 18th January, when the bears were reversing the run observed on 17th, where GBP/USD touched to big psychological 1.3000 mark again.

Technical Review – GBP/USD

GBP/USD 60-minute chart. Near-term resistance eyed at 1.2900, with bulls locked in on a retest of 1.3000.

GBP/USD at the time of writing continues to trade around the 1.2900 territory. This price did see a brief period cooling, on touted profit-taking post the statement. Near-term resistance can be seen within this price region, but if convincingly broken down again, then there is decent upside potential. Aside from the supply observed here, there isn’t much in the way of the 1.3000 price region.

Given the renewed optimism around Brexit now, this has assisted in maintaining momentum to the upside for GBP. In terms of support to the downside, a strong area of demand should be noted at 1.2850-25 price region. As can be seen via the 60-minute chart view, this has supported the price since 15th January.

A recent study suggest Bitcoin Cash is not using anywhere near its full block capacity.

Bitcoin Cash Bulls Fails to Break Big Resistance

Bitcoin Cash price on Monday is trading in minor negative territory, nursing losses of just some 0.5%, at the time of writing. Over the past three sessions, BCH/USD has traded very closely to a descending trend line. The price continues to face rejection when attempting to break above the aforementioned line; however, the bulls do not have enough momentum. This trend line has been in play since 6th November, right at the start of the pick up in downside, at the back end of 2018.

While BCH/USD was confined below the above-mentioned resistance, it fell a chunky 88%. It had dropped from around $650, down to a low of $73.50 on 15th December. Given the current failure to press ahead and break above, the price once again could be knocked back south.

Bitcoin Cash Block Capacity Failure of Use

There is now 500 days’ worth of data to analyze the capacity of Bitcoin Cash when looking at its block size. A recent study conducted by LongHash suggests that the Bitcoin (BTC) blocks on average have been 30x larger than Bitcoin Cash.

Looking at the figures, in terms of Bitcoin Cash, the block size on average has reported to have been just 171 KB since the fork back in August 2017. In real terms, this represents just 2.1% of the total block capacity for BCH. On just one day there the BCH blocks have been more than half full. Back on 15th January 2018, the blocks were able to average 59% of their total capacity, as covered by the recent study.

The study from LongHash further goes on to say, that some will believe that the BCH blocks not nearing their full capacity is a potential positive sign. However, this can also be seen as a lack of interest in Bitcoin Cash, which is somewhat concerning. Most recently, over the past 30 days, the blocks of BCH have averaged just a small 34 KB, which is just around 3.7% of the roughly 923 KB blocks of Bitcoin over that same period.

Technical Review – BCH/USD

BCH/USD daily chart.

Keeping in mind the earlier described rejections for the price, eyes should now note the coming key areas support. Firstly, just ahead of the big psychological $100 mark, at $105, which is an important daily support. The price had last traded around this level between 6-10th December, as it sought comfort at the time, before resuming its move south. If this fails to hold, then a retest of the December low and 2018 low at $73.50 would likely be on the cards.

ADA/USDT in the very latter stages of trading on Sunday was seen nursing chunky losses of over 5%. The price has continued to trade within a choppy nature, a failure to see commitment from either bear or bull camp for ten sessions now. Market participants have been treading extremely cautiously since the steep fall on 10th January. ADA/USDT had plummeted a whopping 22% within the mentioned session. It was the biggest drop in a single session observed since 16th January 2018, where the price tanked around 44%.

Head and Shoulders Formation

ADA/USDT daily chart.

Looking via the daily chart view, price action has been constructing a head and shoulders pattern formation. The left shoulder and head are seen with the right shoulder close to completion. Currently the price on the latest candlestick heading south is edging closer to the neckline, which will determine whether the textbook pattern will materialize. In terms of the vital support (neckline), this is tracking at $0.047000. Should the bears sustain the downside momentum observed in this session, then a breakout could be seen in the next day or two.

Key Support Areas

A breach of the above-detailed neckline will likely open another wave of hard selling pressure. On this potential note, key areas of comfort should be known at $0.039000 (daily support), $0.035500 (27-28th December 2018 low area). Going by the distance between the head and neckline of the pattern, a drop down to the December 2018 lows may be seen. As a result, this would see a retest of the low area from 7th-15th December, $0.027600. Strong buyers came into play here in mid-December to send ADA/USDT back into a decent upside trend.

ADA/BTC Technical Review

ADA/BTC daily chart.

Upside is capped as the price trades within a very stubborn area of supply. There is a chunky amount of resistance that tracks from 0.00001400 down to 0.00001200. The price has not traded comfortably above this region since the start of September 2018. Furthermore, given the continued rejection and lack of upside momentum, ADA/BTC could be seen back down to the demand area below, 0.00001000. Further south, eyes would be on December low area, 0.00000800.
